Quark Forums

This is a user-to-user forum, where you meet experts; exchange ideas & discuss solutions with other users of QuarkXPress, App Studio etc. If you are looking for support, please go here: http://support.quark.com

I was a reluctant joiner of FB. I only do the Quark closed group thing. Mainly because I'm addicted to helping people and hardly anyone uses the Q forum. If this place was half as active as the FB group, I likely wouldn't have joined it.

have you tried QuarkXPress 2017 yet? It's a different beast. Would love to hear your opinion.

And to get a head start, you can just copy and paste your objects from InDesign over, they become fully editable.

ThanksMatthias

P.S.: We have many German customers who do not want to share anything on Facebook. After having heard how vibrant the QuarkXPress Facebook Group is, some are using avatars now. "George W." or "Batman" seem to be available

Do miss you guys though which is one of the reasons I'm hanging around online in forums more again.

Hi there! Nice to hear from you, Erik! Thought well it was your decision to leave FB even if I didn't really know wether you left or threw away some friends for some reason. Anyway it is your decision and I respect it plainly, really! And as far as I'm concerned so many times I thought of leaving also. Some links are still tighting me I miss you on FB. This said, I don't want Quark Forums to become an ersatz of FB Keep in touch!

Take care, Mike

Hi Mike.

I hear you. Time was the forum here was happening. A lot of the people you are seeing in this thread are all people I met here. The Quark forums was the first place I came to know designers from outside my own little world and it's been great.

I liked the interaction I got on Facebook, but it seemed more and more to me that my focus there was becoming something I didn't like. From the standpoint of how I was seeing myself, not anything to do with any of my friends.

I also left Twitter, but was forced to go back as it's the only means to contact T-Force (T-Mobile is my cell carrier) outside of calling them and calling them is a catch-22.

Max, unfortunately experience is largely XPress 4-8. Unless everyone starts using those apps again I can only offer general advice. But, thanks for that!

I think Mike's experience and willingness to help has been a good benefit to the forum. Mike has a lot of insight and knowledge I don't possess because I haven't been a freelance guy like he has. Most of the stuff I deal with is specific to my situation whereas Mike has had to deal with a lot more stuff.

But you've done well too Max. Loads of experience on your part as well.

Matthias, I might give it a shot tommorrow or Friday.

The fact that I can just copy and paste makes a huge difference! Thanks for that!

JMS! I have your phone number remember?

Nah, I left because I was having issues with myself not because of anyone else. Greg emailed me and so did Emma, although she didn't reply to my reply. But I have everyone's email anyway.

Yeah, some of the stuff on there now…I had to mute some of my own family members because I didn't agree with their political views.

And since I've left Zuckerberg and FB itself I've seen do a few things I'm not totally happy about.
